(1)     Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this registration statement shall also cover any additional shares of common stock which become issuable under the Registrant’s 2015 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or any other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of the Registrant’s outstanding shares of common stock.

(2)     Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(h) of the Securities Act, and based on the average of the high and low sale prices of the Registrant’s common stock, as quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market, on March 12, 2019.

(3)     Represents an automatic increase of 2,483,815 shares of Common Stock to the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan, effective January 1, 2019.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Registration Statement on Form S-8 registers 2,483,815 additional shares of Common Stock under the Registrant’s 2015 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan is subject to an automatic annual increase on each January 1, beginning in 2016, by an amount equal to five percent of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31 or such lesser number of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Administrator (as defined in the Plan). Accordingly, on January 1, 2019, the number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan increased by 2,483,815. The additional shares are of the same class as other securities relating to the Plan for which the Registrant’s registration statement filed on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-205937) on July 29, 2015, is effective. The information contained in the Registrant’s registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-205937) is hereby incorporated by reference pursuant to General Instruction E.
